How to install a network license file manually

Solution

NOTE: Please attempt to use the License File Installer before trying to install the license file manually. The License Installer will install the license seamlessly and will let you know if there are any issues with your file. Reference the Software License Manager (SLM) License File Installer KB Article for instructions.

To install the license file for the Network license server manually;

1. Copy the license file to the SLM license server directory. The default SLM license server directory is:
<root>\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel RMS License Manager\WinNT

2. Rename or delete any pre-existing license file(s).

3. Rename the new license file to LSERVRC (no file extension).

4. Locate the loadls.exe executable file in the license server directory:
<root>\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel RMS License Manager\WinNT

5. Run loadls.exe (Run as Administrator) and select Remove to stop the license server.

6. Run loadls.exe (Run as Administrator) again and select Add to start the license server.

7. You can verify that the new license is active by using the license profiler. 
Please review the following article: What is the SLM License Profiler and How to Use It?  for information on how to use the SLM License Profiler.

Note: Ensure that you reload the license server whenever you change your license file.
